Radio 1 Big Weekend

BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend is pretty much the first music festival in the British calendar and is well known for attracting lots of big UK and worldwide artists. The Radio 1 Big weekend grew out of the One Big Sundays which had run for years. The event is spread over 3 stages 'The Main Stage' 'In New Music We Trust Stage' and most recently 'The Dance Tent'. Each year a City is chosen to host the event and in recent years Swindon, Dundee, Preston and Maidstone .
